So, I love my bps to pieces, buuuut I feel like I'm missing something from them. I can interact with them for short periods of time, but I know they basically just tolerate me, and would rather be left alone.

On to my question;
What herp (snake/lizard/monitor/gecko) do you think is the most social with humans? Is there even an option? I would love to find a pet herp that wouldn't mind or even enjoy (I know, that's a stretch) interacting with me.

Care is always an issue, but I'm open to most levels of husbandry at this point, as I'm just brain storming. Some of the species I've been entertaining have been BTS and black and white tegu. Now, I know bearded dragons are at the top of everyone's happy herp list, but I don't think I'll be getting any bds. I had my girl for 5 years, and when she passed away it killed me. I just can't bond with another BD so far (I've tried, and it didn't work ) so, anything except Bds please.

Thanks everyone for your input! I'm open to ideas, pros and cons etc
